Description
An international bestseller translated into multiple languages, When the Body Says No explores the connection between chronic stress, emotional patterns and physical illness.
Physician and author Dr Gabor Maté examines how the mind-body relationship influences health. Drawing on scientific research and decades of clinical experience, he investigates how suppressed emotions, chronic stress and early life experiences may contribute to conditions such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders.
Through case studies and personal stories, the book illustrates how emotional stress can affect the immune system, nervous system and hormonal balance. Dr Maté introduces principles he calls the “Seven A’s of Healing”, offering guidance for recognising hidden stress and supporting recovery and prevention.
When the Body Says No presents a holistic perspective on illness, encouraging greater awareness of how emotional wellbeing and physiological health are interconnected.
